So you are a high dopamine personality type and you are in tech school.  What do you do for fun ?  You are creative and you have capacitors?  I’ll give you a clue:

More clues: You and your friends that are also bored are full of salt water that conducts pretty well once you get past the dry skin. Yes that is what you do.  You fashion the high voltage electrolytic capacitor into a dart with fins and sharpened tip.  Then you charge up your capacitor darts.  Then you all rampage around having a dart war.  When the person goes to pull the dart out of their leg they get shocked.

The above story was recounted to me by Phil Graham of Phoenix Arizona.  A fellow of many stories he was in tech school in the 70’s when you could safely share capacitor dart needles.  I’d freak out now if hit by one.
